Carmelo Anthony to miss all star game

[sook]

Brooks: .43 FG% ( ) .02 blocks

Bynum: .57 FG% (top 5 in the NBA) 1.6 blocks in 5 less minutes than Brooks



Brooks hasn't done . The Rockets are a lottery team. The Lakers have the 2nd best rated D in the NBA largely because of Bynum's interior defense.

Carl landry has a better FG%, more PPG, 2nd only to Lebron in 4th qrtr ppg, and is up for 6th man of the year. He has a better chance of making it then bynum

NEW YORK, Dec. 6, 2007 – The Houston Rockets today assigned rookie guard Aaron Brooks to their NBA Development League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Brooks is the 15th NBA player assigned to a D-League affiliate this season and the second the Rockets have assigned to the Vipers.

He played like one game then Rafer got hurt so he got called back up again.

See thats where it doesn't really count, he didn't really go to the Developmental league and develop like Dorsey for example.

Yeah, but he was still in the D-league

[sook]

WIth Yao being the injury riddled buffoon he is bynum still can't make the ing all star team with no other Cs in the west .

I can't understand why 21 s swings from his sack all day.

Since Dirk was the next leading voter-getter as a Forward, I'd imagine that gives him the start with Timmy.

Kevin Durant should start at SF

LOL @ Bynum's defense impact as a primary argument..the Lakers best defensive frontcourt is Odom-Gasol according to the numbers and it's obvious when watching games as well IMO..

Carlos Boozer should get the spot IMO, no argument..Bynum 2nd, Ellis or Kaman at 3/4 and Brooks 5th off the top of my head..

[cobbler]

So, since Melo was a starter, will a reserve be moved up to starting duties?

No... they will only start 4 players. Duh

Correct. Andrew rarely gives much effort defensively or on the glass. Honestly I don't even want him to make the All Star team. I think providing positive reinforcement to his lack of consistent effort is the worst thing that could happen at this point in his development. The only time his head is really in the game is when he is getting constantly fed in the post. Otherwise he just mails it in on both ends.

LaMarcus Aldridge

Who decides who starts in place of Melo? Does it come down to a coach decision?

Carl landry has a better FG%, more PPG, 2nd only to Lebron in 4th qrtr ppg, and is up for 6th man of the year. He has a better chance of making it then bynum

Again, Houston fan too dumb to even know what defense is.

[21_Blessings]

You are ing re ed and seriously do not watch the games.

The day Andrew Hasn't Done Bynum makes the All star game is when butterflies come flying out of my ass and into your mouth.So off.

You've been wrong about Bynum since day 1. You know jack about basketball!

[21_Blessings]

Brooks plays with Chuck Hayes, Shane Bat, And ariza in the starting lineup.

Point being? Bynum would be averaging 20/11 with that goof troop. Houston would be a much, much better defensive team to boot.

You think anybody guards those mother ers?

43% shooting on a lottery team. Hahahahahahaahha

...and Bynum scoring with ease because of all the attention the other starters get...and still averages ONLY 15 and 8. Goes both ways you sperm gurgling road .

Except Bynum scores on elite-post defenders and over double teams all the time. And is still shooting 57%.

and still averages ONLY 15 and 8. Goes both ways you sperm gurgling road .

Brooks shoots 5 more shots than Bynum per game. Again, learn how basketball works.

Is easily debunked by the fact Gasol missed 17 games, Ron 5 and the Lakers remained a top 2 defensive team in the NBA.

It's pretty obvious Bynum is a better post and man defender than Pau Gasol. You'd know that if you watched the Lakers game, which you don't.

[Dro210]

That means Dirk will start right?

Nice.... he deserves it.

[sook]

Again, Houston fan too dumb to even know what defense is.

You're absolutely right, being one of the best defensive teams, and best last year means absolutely nothing.

Get a ing clue.

[mystargtr34]

I would think Boozer would get a shot to be the replacement.
